Truth! Back in the '90's, I had a friend when I was in Germany whose figure I never saw. When she visited me, we went to a spa, and I saw her figure for the first time. She had a figure like Sophia Loren, or Marilyn Monroe!!! I couldn't believe my eyes...I told her she oughta show it off, not hide it in baggy clothes!

Wonderful styling tips to avoid looking frumpy, dear Marie-Anne. You're absolutely right and love the term 'de-frump'. The styling journey starts when we accept ourselves to dress better. It's also possible to be comfortably chic since being older and/or overweight is not an excuse to lack style as there are ladies I've seen who are larger and older wearing beautiful outfits gracefully.

@rrhines3151. You say comfort at work is not always the key ... but it could be! If your shoes aren't comfortable, I suggest going to a high end store like Nordstrom's, Macy's, or Neiman Marcus (or a comparable store in a city near you), where they actually MEASURE your feet, know their brands, and can fit you in a comfortable shoe that meets your needs ... heel height (maybe a flat), length, width in the toe box, etc. Many do not know, that with a wider ball of the foot, we can't CAN'T just wear the next size up in a Medium. I actually need a "W" on the end of the shoe box! Or, sometimes, an "M" if the trained professional shoe fitter knows his brands! Then, the rest of your work style. Find a saleswoman who really wants to help you build a work wardrobe, even if it's a little at a time. She may be more motivated if she knows you'll buy a few pieces, say 3 to start, and return to her the next time. When I changed from a setting where clients struggled to make ends meet, to my own professional private practice, this is how I upgraded my work wardrobe. It worked amazingly well, because she began to know me and what zi liked. She also worked with the pieces I already had. Sometimes, it's the small things that make a big difference!

Yes , agree ! More color , please . While gray & black are nice " neutrals " , on cold , overcast winter days , we need color in our lives !

Thankyou for showing us a better way.❤

You are very welcome Becky x

This was awesome! I love the various shades of gray in all the outfits & that Marie-Anne was also wearing gray. It kept my eyes from bouncing all over. ❤️

I am glad you appreciated the thought that went into producing the video Ellie 🤗

I find that even when i feel cruddy, i always feel better when i get dressed at least reasonably well, even if i am sick and will have to sleep all day. Style is something that i do for myself to feel better - it has an internal reward.

Bonjour Madame Lecoeur, vos explications sont vraiment claires et précises et l’ajout d’exemples visuels est très bien pensé. Le tout nous permet de bien comprendre en quoi une tenue nous avantage ou pas. Merci à vous !

Thank you for this. How do people feel good in frumpy, baggy clothes, tailored clothes for every time. X

It could be because they do not feel good about themselves that they dress this way Judith 🙁 I am here to help their style and improve the way they think of themselves - the two go hand in hand 😃
